This is not what actually happens. Instead people get "informed" and "activated" by propaganda on any given side, and choose to vote.
When they vote, there are a dozen+ other elections going (most of which a voter doesn't know/care about). Forcing them to choose (ie, they have to opt-out by writing in blank or mickey mouse) would lead to more participation and involvement. Groupthink is already here.
Australia has compulsory voting and it's arguably better in terms of outcomes than the US.
